Domaine Taupenot-Merme
Exquisite, refined wines. Quality is excellent. The domaine can trace its history back to the 17th century and today cultivates about 13ha of vines. It is run by Romain Taupenot and his sister Virginie. Romain, whose father was from Saint Romain, has one of the brightest minds I have come across in Burgundy. They made their smallest ever crop in 2024 and began harvesting on 20th September. Potential alcohol in the grapes was 11.5-12%. The wines were chaptalised and no whole-bunch fermentation was used. The wines were matured in barrels for 12 months and are all bottled with Diam corks.
